Cooking

Math

• The child learned to count and measure ingredients accurately.
• They practiced adding and subtracting measurements when adjusting recipes.
• They learned about fractions when dividing or doubling recipes.
• The child learned about shapes and symmetry when cutting food into different shapes.

One creative way to continue developing math skills through cooking is to encourage the child to create their own recipes. This will involve measuring ingredients, adjusting portions, and understanding ratios. They can also practice multiplication and division by scaling up or down the recipe.
